Step 3. Configure sendmail so that it can send e-mail to an HP mail server that
is outside of your company’s firewall.
HP iCOD software sends encrypted e-mail from the local nPar running
iCOD to HP for billing purposes and to request licensing information.
Details on sendmail configuration are in the user’s guide for iCOD.
You must configure sendmail on all nPars that have iCOD software
installed. On nPars with multiple boot devices, configure sendmail for
each boot device.
Step 4. Configure the iCOD contact information for each nPar that has iCOD
software installed, using the icod_modify -c... command.
This specifies the person who will receive iCOD licensing e-mail from HP
and iCOD configuration change notices. For example:
# icod_modify -c "Joe Doe":[e-mail]:555-5555
On nPars with multiple boot devices, configure the the iCOD contact
information for each boot device, in case alternate devices (such as HAA
or ALT) are booted.
Step 5. [This step needs to be performed only once for the entire server complex.]
Request a license by issuing the icod_notify command (with no
options) in any nPar that has iCOD, sendmail, and the contact
information configured.
The icod_notify command sends an iCOD asset report to HP and to the
iCOD contact and root for the nPar. After HP receives the asset report a
confirmation e-mail, which contains the iCOD license key, is sent to the
iCOD contact.
Apply the license for iCOD by issuing the icod_modify -l...
command. For example:
# icod_modify -l AABBCCDD
where AABBCCDD is the iCOD license key given in the confirmation
e-mail. You only need to apply the iCOD license once for the entire server
complex.
Step 6. Use iCOD features: list iCOD statistics with icod_stat and, when
required, activate or deactivate processors.
